Gralow, Frances L. 1981. "Some sociolinguistic considerations in orthography design." Notes on Literacy. Interest level: specialist.

Summary
 

In the past few years, the most important development in the science of orthography design has been the widespread realization that sociolinguistic considerations seem to be the most crucial of all considerations (Berry 1977).

 

Uses sociolinguistics to mean the entire cultural and sociological atmosphere in which a language is spoken, including psychological attitudes of mother tongue speakers toward their language and toward language in general.
